It's a few Easter babies, but the other morning I found them all under the Brinsea heater. Love and peace.

Are you sure that silkie is pure? I don't see extra toes or the silkie feathers.

I think it could be xleghorn. It does have 5 toes though (photo mustve been a funny angle lol) but they look shinier like a leghorn.

A silkie that lays like a Leghorn?! Cross it back to a silkie i think that would bring back the silkie feathers but it could retain the laying abilities... You may have the makings of a whole new strain of silkies there... Idk if I'm right generically but that would be just about the coolest thing ever. My silkies already lay like champs when not broody but their egg size and number could be improved a little.

I hope it's a pullet so you can find out.
